Description
Though I still feel much can be done to enhance the beauty of Austin's numerous bridges over Lady Bird Lake, there have been significant improvements and additions that I feel have added substantially to the quality of life in the center of the capital of Texas. The Roberta Crenshaw Pedestrian Walkway pictured here is one of those major enhancements. Views from direct above the river, Lady Bird Lake, showcase downtown and other bridges to the east, and bluffs and hills to the west. A plaque on the north end of the walkway details how the Texas legislature had to "encouraged" to add the walkway to the original bridge design. The return on tax dollars is monumental and offered free to all visitors. I will soon be uploading a series of "rainy day images over Lady Bird Lake" from this particular day's visit and hope you will also browse and enjoy those images. These are memories of Austin anyone can enjoy in prints and posters, pillows and tote bags, and even shower curtains, duvet covers, and cell phone cases. Thank you so much for stopping by - Adan

Carol, thank you! That's Austin for you, even in a rain storm, pretty active! 'Course it was very mild for the time of year too :)

Great capture, of kayakers hanging out under the bridge as runner, walkers alike exercise in the pouring down rain.
Donna Kennedy

Thanks so much, Donna! I might've not ever noticed the various lines into the distance if it hadn't been raining so hard - I was actually first focussed on the water pouring off the bridge in little waterfalls. When I started working on the picture "then" I saw the perspective lines! (smiles)

Mioara, thank you so much! My wife and I took our almost-4 yr old grandson to this bridge for a little outing and it started pouring rain! Luckily the walkway under the bridge was perfect! :)
